Chapter 902

Marcus shifted his gaze to the window.

“You mustn’t do anything to Millie. Don’t be foolish and let yourself be manipulated by women again.”

The Barker family held a prominent position in Preagend, and since the elders of both families had a

good relationship, Marcus wouldn’t kill Darin.

Breaking his legs was punishment enough.

Rhea’s actions were becoming increasingly ruthless. Simultaneously, she seemed to be pushing

herself into a corner.

“What do you mean?” Darin asked, sensing that Marcus’ words were hinting at something.

Darin recalled that when he woke up that morning, his mother had informed him that Rhea wanted to

cancel their engagement, claiming she didn’t want to marry someone disabled.

At the time, he believed it was because he’d failed to complete her task and felt it was unfair to expect

her to marry a disabled man.

Upon reflection, he realized Rhea had planned to end the engagement early.

If he had killed Millie, Rhea would surely have told Marcus, and Marcus likely would have killed him.

“I always thought I was intelligent, but I never expected to be deceived by the woman I love. She’s so

malicious. Thank goodness I didn’t marry her,” Darin said, his voice filled with anger and sorrow.

In his frustration, he thumped his leg heavily.

Millie, who had been listening at the door, retreated and headed back to her car. But after taking only a

few steps, she encountered Rhea.

“Millie, what are you doing here?”

Rhea’s face twisted into a hostile expression upon seeing Millie.

“You manipulated Darin in an attempt to kill me. His plan failed, and now he’s lost his legs. Let me

consider what your next move might be,” Millie responded, anger flashing in her eyes. Rhea’s

obsession with killing her had driven the woman to madness.

“You plan to force Darin to propose breaking off your engagement, right? You never intended to marry

him,” Millie continued, her voice cold.

Rhea’s face darkened as she realized Millie had guessed correctly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do you mean, ‘I want to kill you’? Don’t be absurd. I can’t

understand what’s gotten into you lately.”

“God is watching us, Rhea. Your punishment will come,” Millie warned.

“Don’t try to scare me, Millie. Mark my words: you’ll be the ultimate loser. No matter how much love you

and Marcus share now, it will all vanish, and you’ll be left in agony.”

When Rhea thought of what Bolton had told her last night, her expression became very complicated.

Last night, after listening to Bolton’s words, she was also shocked.

Bolton told her that Marcus had a fatal wound on his body, and he would soon die. There was no

medicine to save him. The hopeless situation would change the entire Thomas Group.

“You dream of this every day, don’t you? Honestly, I pity you, living in your fantasies,” Millie retorted,

turning to leave. As she walked away, she felt a pang of unease. Rhea’s determined eyes seemed to

foretell something ominous.
